Holding On To You - Twenty One Pilots, from Regional at Best
I'm taking over my body
Back in control, no more shotty
I bet a lot of me was lost
"T"'s uncrossed and "I"'s undotted
I fought it a lot and it seems a lot
Like flesh is all I got
Not any more, flesh out the door?
I must'a forgot, you can't trust me
I'm open a moment and closed when you show it
Before you know it I'm lost at sea
And now that I write and think about it
And the story unfolds
You should take my life
You should take my soul
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
You are surrounding all my surroundings
Sounding down the mountain range
Of my left-side brain
You are surrounding all my surroundings
Twisting the kaleidoscope
Behind both of my eyes
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah (and I'll be holding on to you)
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah (and I'll be holding on to you)
Remember the moment
You know exactly where you're goin'
'Cause the next moment before you know it
Time is slowin' and it's rolling still
And the windowsill looks really nice, right?
You think twice about your life
It probably happens at night, right?
Fight it, take the pain, ignite it
Tie a noose around your mind
Loose enough to breath fine and tie it
To a tree tell it, you belong to me, this ain't a noose
This is a leash and I have news for you
You must obey me
You are surrounding all my surroundings
Sounding down the mountain range
Of my left-side brain
You are surrounding all my surroundings
Twisting the kaleidoscope
Behind both of my eyes
Entertain my faith
Entertain my faith
Entertain my faith
Entertain my faith
Entertain my faith
Entertain my faith
Entertain my faith
Entertain my faith
Entertain my faith
Entertain my faith
Lean with it, rock with it
When we gonna stop with it?
Lyrics that mean nothing
We were gifted with thought
Is it time to move our feet
To an introspective beat
It ain't the speakers that bump hard
It's our hearts that make the beat
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah (and I'll be holding on to you)
Ah ah ah (and I'll be holding on to you)
Ah ah ah (and I'll be holding on to you)
And I'll be holding on to you

it sounds so weird without the "woooaaaaah"'s and this version will always have a special place in my heart but i will always prefer vessel

[@niha4860]

Which "wooooooahhh"s?

[@Grid_Grid]

@1 1 i think he/she means the part at 0:32 where there's people that are going 'la la laaaa la la la" which is alot more faint in this version as compared to vessel

[@nightski380]

The drums sound a lot better in this version, though

[@MADIOFFLINE]

@@nightski380 no chance man

[@nightski380]

@@MADIOFFLINE It’s called an opinion, my guy

[@firstofthelastglaciers]

0:21 instead of "SWAT!" he just drops "swat." love it

[@asylumrain]

Sounds the same just not as layered and loud

[@revlis4063]

rab my beloved. cant believe this album is ten whole years old now

[@firstofthelastglaciers]

RAB is incredible

[@maguimove5019]

That's a different version wow now i see that josh can give a magic touch to the songs 🤩

[@michalsam8183]

But in the wiki fandom it says Josh is in the album I’m confused (I’m new in the clique lol)

[@maguimove5019]

@@michalsam8183 yes he is present in the album but in other songs like guns for hands and welcome to clique♥️you still have a lot to learn about 🤣

[@PEP.]

@@maguimove5019 josh had nothing to do with this album or self titled, he just performed it live. same with a rather big amount of trench, and scaled and icy. the drums you hear here are done using a computer program called ezdrummer, and lots of trench and scaled and icy was made from pre made loops and addictive drums

[@7one5_]

@@PEP. maybe loops the with some of the perc on saturday but that’s about it. and the addictive drums stuff is just a rumor, i’m pretty sure josh played the drums live seeing as how they talk about sending files back and forth, josh has a whole home studio for his drums and (i believe) there’s a video of josh recording saturday and mulberry street EDIT: paul meany also talked about the production on levitate and says josh recorded drums on that

[@ripterdusk4736]

​@@7one5_I think that they use addictive samples over josh's drums

Thank you.

[@vetomo6]

Honestly the first time I listened to this version I thought my audio was broken 💀

[@arihantkothari9600]

Thanks for sharing

[@feliperojas2188]

It sounds really awkard with not Josh playing the drums, and instead using a synthesizer....

[@furqanbaba5274]

Most likely Chris

[@noahhelland3244]

@@furqanbaba5274 nope, the drums are programmed

nothings gonna happen if it hasn't been taken down for 3 YEARS!!

[@Sofasit1806]

chorus feel empty without aaahaaahahahahahahh

[@Hyru1e]

Exactly, like in the verse it’s not as bad but the “AND ILL BE HOLDIN ON TO YOU” without the “aaaahh”’s sounds so empty to me

[@BrandyJackson790]

Oh, that’s why it sounds so not-vessel

[@jackthelargemouthbfish4969]

0 dislikes! I guess no one is from Australia

[@nick78wx]

That's soooooo accurate

[@cameron1077]

1 year later and STILLL no dislikes 👏

[@Temtoseygoodbay]

in RaB It starts 0:09 but in Vessel it starts 0:13 Why is that?

[@soundsguy6296]

The audio has the same length of intro, however the music video has some silence before the track starts.

[@Temtoseygoodbay]

@@soundsguy6296 yeah i noticed that a month later

[@ryuko7489]

i, ryuko matoi, love this version, but, vessel version is a bit better (mostly cause of josh)

[@santi_90101]

It sounds weird without the drums
